Wow, these posts are a dime a dozen now...

Picked up a leftover 04 on Saturday, Silverstone on Black leather. Drove from the NYC metro area to Dartmouth, MA to get what is probably the last new 04 in the northeast area. Dealer gave me 29k before TTL, which is probably not the best deal but not the worst either. I'm just glad I got to it before the 2 other guys in the dealership who were there to buy it that afternoon. This was the silverstone 04 on Ebay a few days ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...4541571918&rd=1

The car is phenomenal...I even risked putting the plates from my old car on it just so I could drive it around in the 70+ weather. I let my E46 M3 and Evo owning buddies take it out for a spin yesterday and they came back with huge grins on their faces.

First new car for me, so having them pull it out of the showroom was icing on the cake. Thanks to all you guys for all the valuable info I've been able to gain over the past few months on this board, especially the pre '04 vs. post 04' debates. (yikes!)

 

congrats! i, too, picked up a new leftover MY04 a couple of weeks ago. just could not pass up the deal at $27,800 over an MY05. STILL haven't wiped the grin off my face.
